AUTOMATIC ROAD CURVE FINDER

SYNOPSIS

This project “AUTOMATIC ROAD CURVE FINDER” is used to find the curve
and it will give the alarm intimation to the driver. The main aim of this project is to
minimize the accident and safety drive.

As for Indian road transport scenario is concerned, accidents are becoming a day to
day cause an attempt has been made in this project to reduce such mishaps. In our project
a high speed alarm and light indication is given to the driver.

INTRODUCTION

In our AUTOMATIC ROAD CURVE FINDER the audible alarm is given to the
driver, so that the vehicle to the safety limit.

To prevent high speed in automobiles,


To reduce the accidents caused be over speed,
To provide smooth/steady drive throughout the ride,
To reduce the deviation of the rider by the usage of alarm facility.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

This machine “ROAD CURVE FINDER” works on the Principle of Belt Drive
Mechanism. The belt moves on six wooden rollers fastened to the spindles.
One of the wooden rollers is placed on the moving slide. Another roller acts as a
marking wheel. Both the rollers are under tension, when the machine is working. The
marking wheel can be moves up and down by a clutch lever arrangement. When the
lever is opened the wheel is pushed towards the floor due to the tension of the spring, due
to the friction between the belt and the floor, all the rollers get the drive.

When the machine is not in use, the lever on the handle is closed and the marking
wheel is pulled up. As the roller on the slide is already under tension, when the belt
hangs down, the spring tension pulls the belt also from the floor surface. The paint
container is a elbow like construction and the paint can flow through the slots at the
bottom of the container. The flow can be actuated by a feed valve and it is operated by a
cam arrangement made on the belt when it comes near the container.

Therefore, as the brush approaches the opening of the container, the cam pushes
the valve and the paint starts to flow exactly on the brush. So that economical quantity of
paint is ensured. Thus, when the brush moves further and comes under the marking
wheel, the impression is foformed on the floor, due to the tension force on the marking
wheel. Special arrangement is made to tilt the front wheels, which facilitates the easy
operation of this machine even on curved roads.

ADVANTAGES

 To provide smooth and safety ride.

 To provide mind free ride for the motorist.

 To provide the nation with an accident free roads.

 Low Cost Automation Project


DISADVANTAGES

Additional Cost is required.

APPLICATIONS

This system can be used in heavy moving vehicles such as buses and trucks etc.

Thus it can be useful for the following types of vehicles;

1) MARUTI, 2) AMBASSADOR,

3) FIAT, 4) MAHINDRA,

5) TATA
